The Smurfs (2011)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Raja Gosnell
My rating: BOMB
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Sony)

The idyllic life of the blue smurfs in their forest realm is interrupted by their arch nemesis Gargamel, a human who wants to use steal "essence" for some kind of evil purpose. Papa Smurf and his close friends and family are transported to modern day New York City through a vortex under a waterfall, with Gargamel and his cat closely behind. They somehow convince advertising executive Neil Patrick Harris and his pregnant girlfriend to help them find a way back home and defeat Gargamel. Atrocious blend of live action and CGI with a by-the-numbers plot, filled with blatant product placement and advertisements for Sony products.
